The Nativity Retablo is a perfect size for where I want to use it. I love the blue colors of the night sky and the stars. The figures are really colorful, too. I really like it. The only problem with the "Blue Nativity" I bought--he didn't allow the colors to dry all the way, so the door stuck and some of the paint pulled away from the wood in about 5 small spots on the door and the front of the shelves. I am going to try to find some paint to match and touch up those spots, because I love the Retablo and don't want to return it. I received it more quickly than was promised, but wish that he had waited one more day to send it, to make sure the paint was dry.

I get so many compliments on it it is the most beautiful lapis I have ever worn And the great part about it is has my cross in it you dont even know you have it on its so comfortable and it stays in place and doesnt slide around your neck the cross is always right in the middle where it belongs Id like to congratulate this Craftsman she did absolutely beautiful work and I would not hesitate to buy anything else from her ! Here is a picture of my beautiful blue lapis unfortunately you cant see the blue as well because of where Im standing in the light but it also has beautiful gold flex in it Again her craftsmanship is outstanding Id say 20 out of 10 ! I only take it off to shower !

This is truly lovely with detailed workmanship. My parish and those surrounding (L.I.,N.Y.)often have a priest from Ghana. This reminds me of their deep faith and ministry they bring to us. I now will add to year round display in china cabinet of other Nativity scenes, including others from Novica. HIS presence is present.
